Let's denote the amount saved in the first year as

a

, the common difference as

d

, and the total amount saved in 3 years as

24,000

. Since the savings are in an arithmetic progression, we have the following equations:

1) Amount saved in the 1st year:

a

2) Amount saved in the 2nd year:

a + d

3) Amount saved in the 3rd year:

a + 2d

From the given information, we have the total amount saved in 3 years:

a + (a + d) + (a + 2d) = 24,000

Simplify the equation:

3a + 3d = 24,000

Divide by 3:

a + d = 8,000

Since the amount saved in the 1st year is more than the 2nd year, we have:

a > a + d

Simplify this inequality:

a > 8,000

Therefore, the person's savings for the 3 years are

a + (a+d) + (a+2d) = 2a + 3d = a + a + 8,000 = 2a + 8,000

and the amount saved in the first year is greater than

8,000

.

\textbf{Answer:} The person's savings for 3 years are

2a + 8,000

, where

a > 8,000

.

A psychologist is investigating the levels of test anxiety in various university courses. Anxiety is measured on a scale ranging from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the complete absence of anxiety and 100 represents an extreme level of anxiety. From the data obtained, it has been discovered that the psychology score is triple that of nursing, and in turn, the latter has a score 10 points lower than the nutrition major. Furthermore, the score in the veterinary degree is 15 points higher than that of nutrition. Finally, if we add the scores of all the races, we will obtain a total of 173 points. Pose the equation that represents the situation described in the previous problem and determine: What is the score that psychology obtained regarding its anxiety level before the exams?

-Please answer to the following questions: What is the price elasticity of demand? Can you explain it in your own words? What is the price elasticity of supply? Can you explain it in your own words? What is the relationship between price elasticity and position on the demand curve? For example, as you move up the demand curve to higher prices and lower quantities, what happens to the measured elasticity? How would you explain that? B-Assume that the supply of low-skilled workers is fairly elastic, but the employers’ demand for such workers is fairly inelastic. If the policy goal is to expand employment for low-skilled workers, is it better to focus on policy tools to shift the supply of unskilled labor or on tools to shift the demand for unskilled labor? What if the policy goal is to raise wages for this group? Explain your answers with supply and demand diagrams.
